Abstract
The antimicrobial activities of trovafloxacin, moxifloxacin, sanfetrinem, q uinupristin-dalfopristin, and 14 other antimicrobial agents against 218 Bac teroides fragilis group strains were determined. A group of 10 imipenem-res istant strains were also tested. Imipenem, meropenem, and sanfetrinem had t he lowest MICs of all of the beta-lactams. Quinupristin-dalfopristin inhibi ted all of the strains at 2 mu g/ml. Overall, the MICs of trovafloxacin and moxifloxacin for 90% of the strains tested were 1 and 2 mu g/ml, respectiv ely.
